Customer Reviews

We bought this kumkuat tree (we bought the largest option sold on this site) a year ago and the first season (Jan to Feb), we got blossoms and then over 100 kumkuats. Since then the tree has continued to grow and I trim off the lower shoots. I think it is a very attractive potted tree (especially with bright kumkuats on it) and love that the kumkuats can be on the tree for a month or two without being picked yet still taste delicious

I ordered a 2-3 ft kamquat plant on February last year, it's been almost a year since then, I live in New Jersey, hardy zone 6; I left the plant outdoor between late April to early November and move them indoor rest of the months of the year; the tree grew fast, had many fragrant blossoms in summer and produced more than 20 fruits; now the plant is in my living room near a sunny window, it looks so beautiful, too bad I cannot upload a picture to show everybody.

Best of all about this tree (and my other two citrus trees ordered from fast-growing-tree company), they do not attract deer or other animals, nor do they get any disease! so they won't be damaged when they were outdoor, they grow at excellent health, I love, love these trees, added many charming to my living room, better than a Christmas Tree because they are live and the fruits are real.

We ordered our Nagami Kumquat tree this Spring.The tree, accompanied by planting instructions and an overview of the kumquat variety arrived in Arkansas sooner than promised and in excellent condition. We have a small collection of patio citrus trees and are quite pleased with our newest addition. Within weeks we observed new growth and blossoms. We eagerly await our first crop of kumquats. As a future repeat customer, we would whole-hardheartedly recommend the "Fast-Growing Trees" nursery and site to the public. Thank you again for a job well done!!!!

I live in Pa. and I received my kumquat tree 5-15-14. It actually arrived bigger and better than I had expected. This is just one of several fruit plants that I had ordered and will definitely be ordering from here for now on.

i got my tree in the summer loaded with fruit but so far don.t have new growth .i think because the tree focus on growing the fruit.i order 5-6 feet ,i got 6 feet +.very hardy tree ,fertilizer once a month in winter.every 2 weeks in the spring and summer.now i.m waiting the fruit get ripe .also i.m waiting my guava fruit from fgt to get ripe .i got the tree in spring april 2014.so far i.m happy with FGT .i forgot to mention i.m in zone 5 ,so i put all my tree in self watering pot and watering tree once a month in winter and once every 2weeks in spring and once a week in summer.

I just recieved my Kumquat the other day, and what a fantastic plant! Delivery was quick and the packing methods are fantastic. This tree already has blooms on it. I am expecting to have Kumquats this year. I will be a repeat customer. Thank yo

I could not believe how quick and abundant the fruit that grew on this plant , only having it 6 months. the flowers are beautiful, the honey bees love it, the fragrance that come from the flowers smells like perfume!!! I have about six other varieties of citrus trees and this is the one that impresses me most!!!

My family purchased our Kumquat tree in Nov. of 2012 and it is still doing well a year later. It arrived beautifully with three tiny fruits. We replanted the tree in a slightly larger pot with a well draining soil. The tree spent the winter next to our one south facing window which is too close to our radiator. But, through the tree lost leaves, it continued to grow and put on new leaves. It flowered and prodcued many tiny fruits, then dropped all but four and the three that were on the tree when it arrived. In the summer we put the tree on our Southfacing patio and it thrived, got larger, flowered and fruited - there are now too many tiny fruits to count. The 3 original kumquats ripened and they were the sweetest, tartest, most perfect kumquats we ever had. We brought it back in the house at the begining of October and it seems to be doing well. The four fruits from the first flowering are getting larger and the fruits that it put on during the summer are still growing (slowly - but that is how they are supposed to grow). Some things we do to keep it healthy inlude - not letting it sit in water, fertilize with an organic citrus fertilizer once a month, shine a grow light on it for 8-10 hours a day (cheap one purchased for less than $20 at Lows). So, we haven't had an amazing harvest - only three fruits eaten so far but, we love the tree and are very happy with the way it is growing. If the fruit that are currently on the tree reach maturity then we will have quite the bounty. (As a side note, we live in a very small apartment in Chicago, Il and are not great gardeners.

My Nagami Kumquat tree is my favorite of all of my citrus trees, and I have several! I received the tree in excellent condition. It did not have any fruit on it. Shortly after receiving the tree, I pruned back some tall, leggy branches to give it a nice shape. The leaves are beautiful and dark green, and I have gotten a lot of new growth on the tree since receiving it a couple of months ago. I also now have roughly 20 little kumquats growing on the tree with a ton more blooms opening up! I love it, and I highly recommending this beautiful and fun citrus tree!

Fast-Growing-Trees you guys are great.The plant arrived in excellent condition and still doing fine.It came with fruit already on the tree.I keep mine inside facing north and keep a grow light on it and a Plumeria that I have and all are doing fantastic.

I placed an order for a kumquat tree and received it within a week. It was potted, fruiting and covered in health leaves. I never thought I could have a plant delivered in such fantastic condition. A month later it has started flowering again. I'd give a higher star rating but 5 will have to do! :)

I was hoping this little guy would be a bit more sturdy, pretty small for it's age, it had a real substantial die back after transplanting. It looks pretty rough now months later but at least the leaves are green. But there was substantial branch die back. I have a younger one bought locally that is doing better, both outside as it's not that cold here.

it was an indoor plan, and gnats hatched a few days after it arrived and couldn't get rid of them. naturally, I didn't want to use any chemicals, so after trying a few natural methods including drying it out, I ended up having to discard the plant.

I ordered a Nagami Kumquat and received the well wrap package in two days. The plant is very nice. It grew well and bear fruits now. Thanks for the quick service. I would highly recommend it to friends.

Awesome tree!! It already has buds. The first one I received was broken in half due to damage in transit. I called and the woman she was very sympathetic and said that they would replace it immediately. I'm very happy with the tree and the customer service

I have not had mine for very long, but so far so good. I love kumquats so much and since they are somewhat difficult to find, I couldnt pass up the opportunity to try to grow my own.

At first I felt they were a little tempermental, but I am learning that they are a lot easier to take care of so far than I thought. I put them in fairly large pots and watered semi frequently. the older leaves tend to crinkle a little bit so I was wondering if maybe I was doing something wrong. However, this seems to be somewhat normal as it has not stopped the trees from new growth and are even fruiting. Mine came with one kumquat on each tree to begin with. one tree seems to be shooting up in growth more than the other, but the other has a ton of flowers all over it! its just one of the amazing stories I could tell you from my adventures with this site! I have stories about their arbequino olive tree and a couple of russian pomegranate trees also! all great successes!

I am new to the garden scene, just the last 2 years actually... thanks to the health of these plants and the care in delivery, Ive become quite successful in a very short amount of time!

The smell of citrus blooms brought me o buying the little Japanese kumquat tree. The first blooms fell off without producing any fruit so now I've taken a brush to pollinate the flowers with other flowers growing on the same tree. I'm hoping this will produce some little cute fruit.

So far my tree is doing well and growing new branches and leafs. It has bloomed and showing small fruit. A litter smaller than expected but doing well. saw one on a counter and it was only 18" tall and covered with fruit, Protected with a do not touch sign. If all goes well I plan to get a Lemon tree also.

The Kumquat tree is a delight. It is still so tiny, but has taken hold and is obviously growing. Will attempt a photo later. The other tree is a MidKnight Valencia. I have been attempting to get help with this one since it got here and have had no help at all yet. If someone will please contact me about my other tree from you. Thank you.

Tree is doing well in zone 9 and should have fruit next year. Looking green and healthy. I have had it planted 2 years, so hope to have fruit soon. Has survived a winter in 20s and 30s as well as a summer of near 100s.

Received this tree as a gift and it arrived in perfect shape...healthy and hardy. Shipping was timely and was packaged securely. Was surprised at the compact roots and that it came in a pot. I housed it inside over the winter and am just now putting it outside. It is healthy and well. Would definitely do business with this company again. Good product!!

Planting & Care

It's Easy to Plant & Care for Your Nagami Kumquat

The Nagami Kumquat (Fortunella margarita) is a fantastic little semi-dwarf with fruit that you can pick right off the tree and eat. The kumquat is a unique kind of citrus that doesn’t need any peeling to enjoy, just eat the whole thing, skin and all! The kumquat is a drought tolerant, pest resistant and fairly easy to grow tree. They love full sun and are commonly found outside in USDA growing zones 8-11 but can be successfully grown in a container and brought indoors for the colder seasons. They aren’t extremely fast growers but will top out at 8 feet tall and about 6 feet wide at their full maturity. The blooms will throw off a heavenly aroma that will be a joy to have in, and outside of your home.

Seasonal Information: Kumquat trees will do best in warmer climates as it is classified as a tropical plant. Zones 8 to 11 are ideal for outdoor planting. However, if you do experience cold winters, plant your Kumquat tree in a container and bring it inside for the fall and winter seasons. We recommend planting in Spring through Fall for outdoors since they are sensitive to colder temperatures.

Selecting a location: Choose a location where your tree is going to get plenty of sunlight, 6-8 hours per day is best. They can tolerate some shade, but thrive in full sun. You'll want to ensure trees are spaced 8-10 feet apart if planting more than one. These trees also do better in areas with high humidity so you may also need to create humidity for your tree by misting the leaves daily with water. Potted plants do enjoy a daily misting for humidity but placing a tray with rocks filled with water under the plant will feed humidity to the tree as the water evaporates.

Planting Directions (in Ground): If you are located in zones 8-11 and your winter temperatures stay consistently warm, your Kumquat will do well being planting outside in the ground. Be sure the area has well draining soil.1) Dig a hole twice as wide and just as deep as the root system.2) Place the tree in the hole and back fill it with your sandy, well-draining, acidic soil. If you have clay soil, try amending it with sand, stone, perlite or fine potting soil.3) Tamp the soil down as you backfill the hole to cut back on any pockets from forming.4) After planting, be sure to give your Kumquat tree a deep watering for about 5 minutes. Mulching around the tree will help insulate the roots and keep your plant warm in the colder winter months as well.

Planting Instructions (potted): If your winter temperatures are consistently below 40 degrees, plant your tree in a container that can easily be brought outside in the summer months and inside in the winter. A planter with built-in casters is a good choice so it can easily be moved. Choose a pot slightly larger than what it was shipped in that has plenty of holes in the bottom to allow for drainage. Be sure to plant in well-draining potting soil preferably recommended for acid loving citrus plants.

1) Fill your pot halfway with soil. Remove the tree from it's original pot and gently place it in the potting soil.2) Fill in around the tree with the remainder of the potting soil but be sure not to cover the grafted area of the tree. Leave about an inch from the soil surface to the rim of the pot for easy watering.3) Lightly pack down the soil. Immediately after planting, give your tree a deep watering until it flows from the holes in the bottom of the pot.4) Place your tree in an area of your home, preferably a south-facing window, where it is going to get plenty of sunlight. Supplement with a grow light if it will not receive at least 6-8 hours of sunlight a day. You may also need to create humidity for your tree by placing the pot on a saucer of pebbles or misting the leaves daily with water.

Watering: Kumquats do not like wet feet. Be sure to give your tree a deep watering so that it can penetrate into the root system. After watering, allow the top 2-3 inches of the soil to dry out completely before watering again. Yellowing and droopy leaves is a common sign of overwatering while brown, dry leaves are a sign of under watering. Mulching can help retain the soil moisture and also combat competing grasses/weeds.

For potted Kumquats, stick your index finger into the soil down to about 2 inches. If there is moisture present, hold off on watering until it feels more dry at that depth. When ready to water, stop once you see it escaping the drainage holes at the base of the pot.

Pollination assistance: You can pollinate your indoor trees by hand since most people do not keep a healthy bee population within their home. Simply take a small, dry, fine tipped paint brush and stick it into the center of the bloom. Swirl it around and collect the pollen on the brush. Go to the next bloom and repeat the process until every bloom has been treated. Do this once daily and don’t wash the paintbrush until after the blooms have been pollinated. The bloom will fall of naturally and the fruit will begin to form.

Fertilization: Feed your Kumquat tree during the warmer spring and summer seasons with a citrus specific fertilizer once every six weeks. Espoma Citrus Tone is highly recommended but any organic fertilizer specifically for citrus should suffice. This will help keep your tree on a healthy growth cycle but also replenish the nutrients in the soil. During the fall and winter season, ease back to fertilizing once every 2-3 months. Once the tree has matured a bit and has got a few years on it, you can skip the cold season fertilization. The same fertilizing regimen should be followed for potted Kumquat trees as well. Make sure to follow the application instructions written on the fertilizer bag.

Pruning: Pruning can be done at any time of the year for in ground planted Kumquats except in the winter. Make 45-degree angle cuts to remove dead or crossing limbs and also to thin out the tree to allow more light to flow between the branches. “Leggy” looking branches may indicate that there is not enough light getting to the tree’s interior. After the tree fruits, remove any dead wood and ventilate the center of the tree. Remove suckers as they form/grow from the base as they will steal away nutrients from the primary trunk of the tree. Pruning can be done at any time of the year for the potted Kumquat.

Kumquats are such a fun fruit to snack on when going on road trips, either eat them whole like a sour candy or squeeze out the juice and eat the sweet skins. I love that they don't get very big so it'll make a great winter house plant as well!

Every since my boss brought me some Kumquats back form Louisianna, I have craved them. I have found them in the grocery store at $8 a pound, way to expensive. Since I live in southeast Oklahoma, they can tolerate colder temps, decided to try and grow my on supply..

Because I remember loving kumquats when I visited Florida many years ago as a little boy. Since I now can grow lemons and banana trees in my home in Connecticut, and I just realized that one can successfully grow kumquats virtually anywhere, I want to reconnect with that delicious fruit that I remember from my childhood.

This tree had 20 t0 30 fruits last year. has done very well in zone 8. I do keep it in the green house in the winter but the temps are cold and not heated around 40 F. for Dec/Jan. The soil is not as complicated as it sounds. gardening is fun and easy Enjoy your kumquat.

I just used Miracle Grow Potting soil and it is thriving. It has been in the re-potted container and thriving. Don't assume it needs as much water as some citrus. Right now the plant is covered with new growth and hundreds of blossoms. I love it so much I will buy another as the fruit is delicious picked and eaten right off the bush

BEST ANSWER:I keep mine out on our deck in spring and summer, it gets mostly sun in the morning and shade in the early afternoon than sun again in the later afternoon. It seems to be doing fine. It has grown faster and fuller than our other trees and has been the only tree so far to produce edible fruit.

BEST ANSWER:I have experienced flowers at different times of the year on my kumquat. I haven't figured it out yet. Right now there are small fruits which started in late August, so the flowers were in July, BUT I had the tree outside for the summer. Last year, I kept it inside and the flowers came at a different time. Good luck!

Depending on the environment & exposures, the tree can produce fruit throughout the year. I live in NJ and keep my trees outside from May through October and then bring inside from November through April. I have seen buds and fruit throughout the year, some times more abundantly than others. Good Luck!

BEST ANSWER:Looking at where Hesperia is, I would think you could leave a Nagami Kumquat outdoors most of the year. Where I live I must bring mine in for a few months during the winter, so am not an expert on growing them entirely indoors. I would guess that, if given lots of sun, it would be possible to grow one entirely indoors.

BEST ANSWER:First off the tree is different, can grow really tall and fruit have a soft skin with 1to 3 seeds large seeds, we make jam with them or eat raw. kumquat have a tougher skin sorta like a small orange and is usually found dried. The plant itself is similar to an orange tree, small leaves

BEST ANSWER:I think that as long as you bring it inside when the temperature drops below 25 F in a place with good light, you should be good. Make sure if you add soil to the pot that it is the acidity is correct (or go to Home Depot and buy a bag that says it is for citrus plants).
